ShareMeme’s CEO, Ahson Wardak, will be speaking at TechStart 2009 at the University of Virginia next Thursday.

If you are in the area, stop by for what should be a great roundtable discussion.

Here at ShareMeme, we’re quickly realizing that the bookmarklet is the most popular way to use ShareMeme. Just for the sake of it, we want to quickly review how it’s done.

To set it up, logon onto ShareMeme, and in your dashboard below the Quick Mode box and the Recent Activity feed, you’ll see a button next to the word Bookmarklet, as below. Drag that button labeled ‘ShareMeme’ to your browser’s bookmark bar in Firefox or Safari.

The Bookmarklet makes it easier to share links with ShareMeme.

From there, if you ever discover a link that you want to share with your friends, you just click on the bookmarklet while browsing that page. After that, you just select the friends you want to send it to using ShareMeme. It’s that easy. One button to share a link with all of your friends. With ShareMeme, we create a discussion board for you with their comments that looks like this:

You can now edit notifications on your account. You can choose to be notified via email, AIM, Google Chat, Twitter, and SMS.  When your friends reply to your link, poll, or invite, you can get the messages in the way that you’d like to.  Up until now, you have had to rely on their Recent Activity feed, and you can still pull that to your favorite RSS reader by clicking on the icon the right of the Recent Activity feed.

We hope that you find this new feature helpful in getting up-to-the-second information on who’s clicked your link, RSVP’ed to your invite, or answered your poll.
